Time 50m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (each about 8 ounces)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
3/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes (optional)
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grill
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Place chicken breasts between two layers of plastic wrap and lightly pound them to an even thickness (about 1/2 inch). Let stand at room temperature about 30 minutes.
  • While chicken rests, whisk together lemon juice, thyme, sugar, red-pepper flakes, oil, and 2 teaspoons salt.
  • Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper. Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking; let grates get very hot (this ensures a good sear without drying out meat).
  • Oil grates and cook chicken, turning occasionally, until charred in places and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes total. Transfer to a serving dish. Pour or spoon sauce over pieces while still warm; serve.
